I have decided that I am not going to look at any of the recent videos. Nor, am I going to look at any new ones that eventually follow in this thread. I think the old adage that you can't unsee what you have already seen is so true. I believe I am the only one who mentioned the injury to Bobby Valentine in 1973. I mentioned it because I simply can never get the images out of my head when bad sports injuries are mentioned. I didn't see it live, nor did I see video of it. Didn't have Youtube back then. But, the pictures that were shown in one of the sporting magazines were pretty gruesome. Basically when he went up for the catch at the wall, his cleats caught in the fence and tarp. As he fell backwards, his shin gave way and his leg bent backwards in the middle of the shin area. I looked like he suddenly had a new knee joint in the middle of that shin. That's the way it bent back as his body fell to the ground. His foot still attached to the fence.
As I have said, I have never been able to get rid of that image, nor a number of other ones. So, I think I'll be prudent about any more of these images.
